Should Iron Maiden be classified as Prog-

Well okay, they don't just have a "prog feel", they do sound prog; and, they don't just do it sometimes. From midway through their career, they've almost always sounded prog.

I did a search and it didn't yield any topics about Iron Maiden on the prog lounge so I cooked this one up.

Positive answer from me too.

Yesterday I listened to Seventh Son again - I last listened to it more than 15 years ago. I'd say that a good part of the album is progressive. Then on the other hand some songs are not progressive at all, and that makes it hard to judge the album as a whole.
